Quote: "Although this arrangement meant considerable financial risk, it also promised to be profitable if the new theater was a success. The Globe proved to be a wise investment, and it remained a home to Shakespeare’s acting company until the religious reformers known as Puritans closed the theaters in 1642, during the English Civil War"(Lander 4).

Paraphrase: The quote shows Shakespeare took some risks for his company. He came through with it and all in all made a wise decision. It also shows Shakespeare kept the globe theater for 43 years until it was closed in 1642.

My Ideas: Shakespeare took risks.

Quote: " By 1612 when he returned to Stratford to live the life of a prosperous, retired gentlemen, Shakespeare had written 37 plays, including such masterpieces as Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth"(Anderson 777).

Paraphrase: The quote from the book William Shakespeare's Life: A Genius from Stratford, shows how Shakespeare has made a lot of plays. He made a lot of enjoyment because all 37 of them were either comedy, romantic, or dramatic and sometimes all of them together.

Quote: "After these come The Comedy of Errors, Titus Andronicus (almost a third of which may have been written by George Peele ), The Taming of the Shrew, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love's Labour's Lost, and Romeo and Juliet"(Columbia 1).

Paraphrase: This shows the theatre was used for many different plays, all from one person. According to the quote, William Shakespeare made comedies and dramas. For instance, Shakespeare created "The Comedy of Errors, Titus Andronicus, The Taming of the Shrew, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love's Labour's Lost, and Romeo and Juliet."

Quote: "Little is known about the Globe's design except what can be learned from maps and evidence from the plays presented there. The Globe was round or polygonal on the outside and probably round on the inside"(Seidel 4).

Paraphrase: This shows nobody can know for sure what has happened in the past, especially since the building burned down twice. The people do know some things about the globe theater. For one, we know the theater was like a globe so it was either round or polygonal from the outside. What you would see on the inside was most likely in a round shape. We also know the top of the globe didn't have a roof, so if it rained you would get wet.

Quote: " Globe Theatre , London playhouse, built in 1598, where most of Shakespeare's plays were first presented. It burned in 1613, was rebuilt in 1614, and was destroyed by the Puritans in 1644. A working replica opened in 1997"(Adams 1).

Paraphrase: The quote shows that the globe theater has been around for a long time and always will be. It was invented 418 years ago and is still well known today. Even though it burned down twice, people still found it fascinating enough to create a replica hundred's of years later.

Quote: " It has been said that all you need for a theater is "two planks and a passion." Since Shakespeare's time "the planks"(the stage) have undergone various changes. First, the part of the stage that projected into the yard grew narrower, and the small curtained inner stage grew larger until there developed what is called the proscenium stage"(Anderson 779).

Paraphrase: This shows that the globe theater has changed its architecture over many of years. It has changed from sizes and possibly shapes. But overall, no one will know for sure what the theater did look like.

Quote: "A reconstruction of the theater was completed 200 yards (183 meters) from the original site in 1996, and it officially opened in 1997"(Seidel 2).

Paraphrase: This proves the original theater did not survive. They built a new one exactly the same to show it's original details were worth saving. The quote also shows how when the building burned in 1613, people were still determined to build a replica 384 years later.

Shakespeare criticism

Critisism

Source: "Shakespeare, William." Lander, Jesse M. "Shakespeare, William." World Book Advanced. World Book, 2016. Web. 4 Dec. 2016.

Quote: " During Shakespeare’s lifetime, Robert Greene apparently attacked Shakespeare for thinking he could write as well as university-educated playwrights"(Lander 4).

Paraphrase: The quote shows how some people did not feel enjoyment to Shakespeare's plays or William himself. When Rober Greene attacked Shakespeare, it represents that Shakespeare is really good at what he does, and him writing plays is a gift and a curse.

My Ideas: Shakespeare's gift caused some bad stuff along in his life. For instance, him being attacked by a man named Robert Greene.

Critisism 2

Quote: " Perhaps more seriously, Johnson accused Shakespeare of frequently failing to observe poetic justice, in which the good should be rewarded and the wicked punished"(Lander 4).

Paraphrase: According to the quote found in the article, Shakespeare, William, he didn't do everything right. Even other people found this true. Samuel Johnson for example, thought he was a great poetic but also had some criticism for him. Like when he was," failing to observe poetic justice, in which the good should be rewarded and the wicked punished."

My Ideas: Shakespeare did not always have everything his way, for sometimes he too made mistakes.

Critisism 3

Source: " Shakespeare, William." Lander, Jesse M. "Shakespeare, William." World Book Advanced. World Book, 2016. Web. 4 Dec. 2016.

Quote: " During the 1800’s, admiration for Shakespeare grew so intense that it resulted in a totally uncritical attitude toward the man and his works. Some people so admired Shakespeare’s plays that they refused to believe an actor from Stratford-upon-Avon could have written them"(Lander 1).

Paraphrase: This shows the criticism some people gave to Shakespeare or felt about him were actually good. They felt Shakespeare was even too good from where he learned how to make plays and write poetry. This means people were curious about how Shakespeare learned how to make poetry especially since he is so good at it.
